Goede morgen/middag/avond/nacht, Goodmorning/afternoon/evening/night, I noticed the following problem with the DPS-PAR. I use the PAL-version 1.33B. When i backup my files directly from the PAR to Tape or the PAR to DOS-drive and i do a compare, some files are not indentical, although the files played ( at first look) perfectly from the PAR. But going frame by frame through the files, you notice one or more frames looking strange (horizontal lines in dark and light green). When you remove this frames and backup/compare again everything is ok. But when you restore the file without removing this/these frame(s). The file is damaged from the "problem"-frame till the end of the file. So, make sure you always do a backup/compare session . I know… i know…. it cost a lot of time Did anyone noticed this problem before ?! Thanx Theo

No I haven't tried it with the 1.33B version, will try backing up. It similar then what you had with the 1.29 version, that at one point the animation went bad, after backing up, but it seems it is a little less worse. I'll check it out as soon as possible Christophe

What do you mean by removing a frame or frames, where do you remove them and how do you add them again?? Christophe

Theo, Just checked it out, so it seems the original problem of backing up is still there. Copying to a DOS drive, then copying back, at a certain frame the animation is lost. This is still an important bug. Christophe
